There are shortcomings...there is so much room to improve... And we shall. For now, just Gratitude,” he added.

Some of the visuals that you have seen just now are unbelievable. To have somebody conceive a project that is so futuristic is amazing." "No matter what Nag Ashwin thought of, he actually got all the material and effects to match his vision. It has been an amazing experience working for Kalki 2898AD which I will never forget," Big B added. Nag Ashwin has hinted at a fresh perspective on the Mahabharata. The film's futuristic setting incorporates science fiction elements alongside the established mythology. The film's exploration goes beyond mere aesthetics. He suggests a potential reimagining of the Mahabharata's core themes – dharma (righteousness) and karma (consequences of actions) – in the context of a future society with its complex moral landscape.
